ARTIST STATEMENT

Sculpting Sounds

"For me, creating my artworks is like writing songs. Just like a musician processes and communicates his feelings and thoughts through music, I communicate mine through my works of art. Some of them tell whole stories about my life's extraordinary experiences. Others just reflect fleeting impressions that I consciously or unconsciously came across in everyday life."  - Jens Ritter
